  2. Cubic foot - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cubic_foot

    1⁄27 yd 3. SI units. 0.02831685 m 3. The cubic foot (symbol ft3 or cu ft) [1] is an imperial and US customary (non-metric) unit of volume, used in the United States and the United Kingdom. It is defined as the volume of a cube with sides of one foot (0.3048 m) in length. Its volume is 28.3168 L (about 1⁄35 of a cubic metre).

  3. Olympic-size swimming pool - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Olympic-size_swimming_pool

    If starting blocks are used, then there must be a minimum depth of 1.35 metres (4.4 ft) from between 1 metre (3 ft 3 in) from the end of the pool to at least 6 metres (19 ft 8 in) from the end of the pool. At all other points, the minimum depth is 1 metre (3 ft 3 in). [3]

  4. Cubic ton - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cubic_ton

    Converting cubic tons (i.e., volumes) to measures of weight presents difficulties because organic materials such as timber vary in density. Approximate volume conversions, based on a timber cubic ton of 40 cubic feet: 1 ton (40 cubic feet) = 1.133 cubic metres. 1 cubic metre = 0.883 cubic tons (35.32 cubic feet)

  5. Environmental impact of concrete - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Environmental_impact_of...

    Concrete is used to create hard surfaces which contribute to surface runoff that may cause soil erosion, water pollution and flooding. Conversely, concrete is one of the most powerful tools for proper flood control, by means of damming, diversion, and deflection of flood waters, mud flows, and the like.

    Avoirdupois pound per cubic inch (1 g/cm 3 ≈ 0.036127292 lb/cu in) pound per cubic foot (1 g/cm 3 ≈ 62.427961 lb/cu ft) pound per cubic yard (1 g/cm 3 ≈ 1685.5549 lb/cu yd) pound per US liquid gallon (1 g/cm 3 ≈ 8.34540445 lb/US gal) pound per US bushel (1 g/cm 3 ≈ 77.6888513 lb/bu) slug per cubic foot

  7. Specific weight - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Specific_weight

    The specific weight, also known as the unit weight (symbol γ, the Greek letter gamma), is a volume-specific quantity defined as the weight per unit volume of a material. A commonly used value is the specific weight of water on Earth at 4 °C (39 °F), which is 9.807 kilonewtons per cubic metre or 62.43 pounds-force per cubic foot.

  8. Lateral earth pressure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lateral_earth_pressure

    An example of lateral earth pressure overturning a retaining wall. The lateral earth pressure is the pressure that soil exerts in the horizontal direction. It is important because it affects the consolidation behavior and strength of the soil and because it is considered in the design of geotechnical engineering structures such as retaining walls, basements, tunnels, deep foundations and ...

  9. Soil moisture - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soil_moisture

    A study of a single winter rye plant grown for four months in one cubic foot (0.0283 cubic meters) of loam soil showed that the plant developed 13,800,000 roots, a total of 620 km in length with 237 square meters in surface area; and 14 billion root hairs of 10,620 km total length and 400 square meters total area; for a total surface area of ...
